Episode 29 - "If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. And then it's won."

Welcome podcast fans, ghosts, ghouls and other things that go bump in the night. It's the spookiest time of year (and I'm not talking about tax time). The Halloween season is here and so the Silver Screen and Big Screen podcasts have united to give you quite the Thriller. Mike, D.K, Theo and the ghost of Will (he's not dead, just having some home repair problems) are here to review John Carpenter's seminal 1982 modern classic 'The Thing'. No, we promise we're not f*cking kidding, we'll get into the acting, direction, effects, themes, reception and more, getting right down to the bone. So turn out the lights, make sure nobody's watching you, don't trust anybody and dive into this review. It's a scream!

You can catch an uncut version of this episode on our YouTube channel and see Theo and D.K go head to head in two separate horror-themed quizzes. Who will win, and what will be left of them? - https://youtu.be/ggHulXTBtgQ
